| Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact @badger_erich I saw that review. He did seem to really like the Tektons. He has another video where he discusses a list of several speakers that are "easy to recommend" and the Double Impacts made that list.I am a little surprised there aren't m... | |
| Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact @larry5729 I agree with you on the looks of the Tekton. I could give them a pass on the looks (and my wife said it's my choice, so it seems like she could at least live with them) if the sound is right, though.What you say about the bass from the... | |
| Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact @twoleftears I did go to Audio Exchange. I heard some Dynaudios there and a huge pair of Sonus Fabers (which will never be within my budget). Donny at AE was great. When we asked about price, though, it didn't seem like he could go as low as I ... | |
| Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact @mofojo I was very interested in the 1028 Be II. They pop up at around my price point occasionally, used. Is there a huge difference in the sound between the 1028 and the 948? I know the Beryllium tweeter can provide some major high end detail,... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @klh007 I live about 3 hours from BWI, and I have drooled over the MOABs since I first set eyes on them. You are selling those on behalf of Tekton *just* outside of my budget, and I'm sure my wife would be okay with an extra $100 over budget. Bu... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten Thanks for the feedback. I would love to trial the Double Impacts, but return shipping if we don't like the sound would be hundreds of dollars. The Tekton return policy also says that "new condition" means there can't even be any fing... | |
| Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact @mofojo When you say the Focals are not as "dynamic," what do you mean? Does this relate to distortion, ability to play loud, ability to play both loud and soft, or something else? I'm sure this is a very entry-level question, but I'm an entry-l... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @danoroo Do you not listen to the Double Impacts because you don't like them or because you don't have time or some other reason? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I should mention that the Klipschs were not powered by the Cambridge Audio amp. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey all, I have another thread going asking for input on my choice between Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, and the Tekton Double Impact.I am in anguish over this decision, honestly. I have now heard the Arias, and they sounded incredible. They do se... | |
| Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact @jgreen19 That sounds like a good deal, but $3500 is essentially my max budget for speakers right now. And it took a Herculean effort on my part to convince my wife that such a budget was not just throwing money into the wind. Words are words, t... | |
| Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact Thanks everyone for the great input.With two of my kids at their grandma's today, and with a little bit of free time permitted thereby, I was able to track down a Focal dealer who had the 948's set up to demo. I convinced my wife to go with me.Sh... | |
| Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact @mofojo Just learned that you can tag someone in this forum, so I wanted to make sure you were aware of my followup to your post. Thanks again for your input. | |
| Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact @twoleftears Yes, I have been doing that extensively. There are deals for the Aria's in new condition. They also are reasonable ($3500 or less) used in good condition. The Revels seem to be consistently $3500 and above used (though one b-stock ... | |
| Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact mofojo When you say the Aria will be "flabby" in the bass, is that based on an estimation of room effects (i.e. being placed near a corner) or an inherent property of the speaker itself (or a combination)?The amplifier I bought does 200 wpc into 8... |
